SPCA Investigator Mindi Qualls says "it's the worst case ever of animal abuse that I have ever come upon." Mindi told me that, what she found was a nightmare and it made her physically ill. After I viewed the photos and the videos, I too was sickened and became emotional as I wondered "who would do this to an animal?" I will warn you now, this contains graphic images.

Can you believe that his dog Jumpy the Border Collie mix, famous for his roles in the TV show NCIS was once rescued from an animal shelter. Jumpy is considered legendary in the motion picture and television industry, however I believe Jumpy and Omar are better known because of their awesome YouTube videos. Omar has several other dogs too, but I'm a huge fan of Jumpy and Omar, check their video.

Jolene takes Daisy to a veterinarian to see if the puppy could be helped. She was told that Daisy's back was broken and that she might never walk again. Watch as Daisy's incredible story unfolds. Caution this video may move you.

Because Samson is a turn in, he does not have long to live. Please help us find a home for our "KEAN Critter" of the week. See him at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter in cage W-27.

The conditions were terrible and quick acting local authorities got the dogs out while they were still in good health. Last Friday (7/19) a local judge heard the case and released the dogs to RTA for adoption. If you have the heart to care for a little Chihuahua check them out at Rescue the Animals in Abilene.

Aaron Vannoy with the City's Animal Shelter says "the final numbers are still being counted, but one thing is for certain, we beat last years numbers." Rescue the Animals worker Mindy said "I know how many forms be brought and we ran out."

I thought about it for a minute and said yes. The reason for me doing it again is simple, we are so close to setting an all time record for animals adopted here in Abilene that I'd hate to miss setting a new record while saving more pets.

About a month and a half ago, I posted a blog about the Abilene city council considering some changes to the city ordinances that would have made owning a dog a bit more costly. In an effort to get a better perspective as to how the people of Abilene feel on these issues, Rescue the Animals, a non-profit proactive animal rights organization founded in Abilene, has just posted a survey on their website. Their intention is to deliver the results to the Mayor and the city council.
